Chapter 28 - INAZ: Chapter 27 [50 Spirit Stones Bonus]---

And Shinji had no intention of hiding Deidara; the fact that he still let him use the name Deidara showed this.

"Bringing a ninja from another country into Konoha clearly violates the practices of a Konoha villager," Shisui remarked, glancing towards the direction Deidara had gone upstairs, a thoughtful flicker in his eyes.

"Naturally. But Shisui, you must keep this a secret for me," Shinji smiled, seemingly completely unworried about Deidara's situation.

"..." Shisui looked helplessly at Shinji. This? Asking him to keep a secret?

"Boss Shinji, is something big... about to happen in Konoha soon?" Itachi, who had been silent nearby, suddenly asked.

"Itachi, what big event are you referring to?" Shinji asked calmly.

"Lately... I seem to have heard many rumors," Itachi glanced at Shisui, saw no reaction, and continued.

"Rumors about what? About the Uchiha clan? About the Nine-Tailed Fox? About Kumogakure? Or perhaps about... Lord Orochimaru?" Shinji chuckled lightly. These four topics were undoubtedly the most frequently discussed during this period. Especially... with the New Year approaching, less than a week away, Shinji remembered. Orochimaru's affairs seemed to have been exposed shortly after the New Year.

"As expected of Boss Shinji, your sources of information are truly extraordinary," Shisui said with some admiration. He only learned certain things through the ANBU. But whenever he was here with Shinji, he always felt Shinji's news was faster.

"So... regarding Lord Orochimaru... is it true?" Itachi asked curiously. After all, the news he heard from Shisui was that Orochimaru might be involved in some forbidden re

"Yes, Boss Shinji does have some rather interesting insights. A very interesting shop owner," Hiruzen Sarutobi said cheerfully, seeming to admire Shinji greatly.

"Does Lord Hokage have a mission for me regarding Boss Shinji?" Shisui asked.

"Yes. I need you to get close to this person, Shinji, find out everything about him, and report back to me." Hiruzen Sarutobi finally revealed his true intentions. He was still somewhat worried about this uncertain factor, Shinji. Therefore, since Shisui had been visiting the All-Purpose Shop regularly, observing Shinji up close would surely be advantageous.

"This..."

"Also, Shisui," Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, seemingly ignoring Shisui's hesitation.

"Lord Hokage."

"The two people Shinji brought back from his trip out of the village, you should have come into contact with them already, right?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shisui with a smile, the sharp glint in his eyes seemingly impossible to hide anymore.

"Yes." Shisui knew Hiruzen Sarutobi must already know about his interactions with Deidara and Karin today. He just didn't know if Hiruzen Sarutobi was deliberately monitoring him or something else. He was ANBU; could it be that Hiruzen Sarutobi still didn't trust him?

"Hehe, don't get any ideas, Shisui. I just happened to see you all today while maintaining Konoha's security," Hiruzen Sarutobi hinted, looking at the crystal ball on his desk.

"What are the origins of those two people?"

"The boy is named Deidara, the girl is named Karin. They are people who take care of Boss Shinji," Shisui didn't mention Karin's surname.

"Deidara... I remember, that old fellow Ōnoki's student is named Deidara, right? And... he seems to have gone missing recently," Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes. The intelligence report from Ōnoki a few days ago was already on his desk. It contained Deidara's information, and even included a photo of Deidara. Judging from the photo, it was undoubtedly Deidara.
